The Warrior
Hieronder vindt u een lijst met kenmerken van een aantal archetypen. Dit is niet bedoeld om statistisch te verwerken of zwart/wit te beoordelen, maar om van jezelf een beeld te vormen en dit te combineren met kernkwaliteiten en allergieën. We leven zelden slechts één archetype uit, een volwassen mens is een samenspel van verschillende typen en dit is een indicatie van je ontwikkeling. Deel 1 kan helpen om een indruk te krijgen van aspecten in je houding a.h.v. verschillende archetypen. The Grail Castle, deel 2 geeft een aantal statements die numeriek verwerkt kunnen worden.
